No sound using ALSA and JACKD #224

Closed breescorner closed 4 years ago

breescorner commented 7 years ago

Hello, I have no sound or video. Is it possible to use Waterfox with ALSA and Jackd? (I disable pulseaudio for recording reasons).

Other than that... it's a beautiful browser. Thx!

my OS: Ubuntu 14.04

Waterfox is compiled with Pule Audio and Alsa support, but without Jack support, so should work with Alsa.

I'm getting no sound on jackd and ALSA. Output to terminal as follows:

Sandbox: seccomp sandbox violation: pid 6103, tid 6139, syscall 49, args 43 139714318655344 110 21 13 0.
Cannot bind server to socket err = Function not implemented
Cannot bind socket
Cannot connect to the server

which appear once I attempt to play audio. All other ALSA applications are working normally.

Maybe even try https://github.com/jackaudio/jackaudio.github.com/wiki/WalkThrough_User_PulseOnJack

I was specifically using Waterfox so I wouldn't have to use Pulseaudio, though. I can manage with mpv and youtube-dl for my audio needs for now.

@bithope Me too. I'm hunting for the perfect browser for my audio system. I'm dependent on Jackd to control ALSA, and have pulseaudio disabled.

WaterFox 55.2.2 does use ALSA on my system. I also don't have Pulse Audio installed. (The replacement "apulse" already support Firefox playback, but I do prefer native ALSA).

I would actually ask @hawkeye116477 to disable/unload jackd for waterfox and see if it works with native ALSA.

I do suspect that the problem might be combination of browser sandboxing and alsa->jackd wrapper. Simply put, if audio is not opened before the sandboxing is enabled (like it is done for pulse), then you have to make a special exception for the files it uses (like it is done for ALSA). I do suspect that the jack wrapper is not exempt.

I looked up this subject when FF deprecated ALSA. This link might be useful: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1309098#c18
